-src-prec jimple doesn't generate temp$ variables because they've been 
optimized away by the copy and constant propagators when Soot created 
the Jimple in the first place.

The more elegant way to eliminate them is what Soot normally does, the 
copy and constant propagators. It's an artifact of the way that Soot 
creates three-address code from stack-based code. You don't quite seem 
to understand this, but I suggest that you figure out what's going on 
before proceeding.
